MM and KM Links May 2009 [Week 4]

[crofter]

Well, we're coming to the penultimate lap and starting to head for home now. At this point in time, I can see that Dusty Wabbit out in front and a group of baying hounds close behind singing "Wun Wabbit, Wun Wabbit, Wun, Wun, Wun!" However, Dusty knows she is quite safe and expects one of the following pack to eventually succeed!

I know that Steff has enjoyed her dual role involvement, but will be quite happy to go back to her own little corner of the world when it's over. As for me, I have enjoyed reading her preamble each week ~ showing us aspects of a life so different to our own! However, as far as the Link Game is concerned, this weekend I am looking forward to awarding a few more points before the sacred abacus turns from "trusty" to "rusty"!

[crofter]

This evening, I am off to a local tavern called �The Snooty Fox� (any relation FoxLee ?) to listen to a group called �Cr�me Brule� (in which my son plays Bass Guitar). Tomorrow evening, a bunch of us will enjoy a Chinese meal and celebrate the birthday of Mrs Crofter (Valerie). Sunday afternoon, I shall be watching Newcastle United retain their precarious hold on Premiership status(!) and Sunday (if the weather holds) we may drive down to Barnsley to watch a Charity Cricket match!

Above all, I look forward to seeing you all ready and waiting for the new challenge when seekeerz will open the launch at 08.45 tomorrow, before the MM link words are disclosed at 09.00 (sharp). There has always been a rush of early entrants in the opening five minutes of play ~ and many bonus points are picked off during this vital period!

[crofter]

Just to demonstrate the versatility of seekeerz, look out for the sister game (called KM Links) that kicks off in the early hours of Saturday depending on whoever is first to solve the Herculis Crossword in The Daily Telegraph! It has been decided recently to adjust the scoring system here, so that it is NOT time sensitive. This version of the Links game attracts many entries and scores can be much higher. That truly international version of the Links Game is watched over by �the Hostess with the Mostest� in the form of ubiquitous seekeerz. She takes responsibility for keeping law and order, and seeing that fair play prevails. She will process each prediction and maintain the League Table for the KM Links.

Me? I�m crofter keeper of the scores for MM Links for my sins and I process the predictions and maintain the League Tables for the parallel game.

Good luck for tomorrow, when you will have to tune into another round to take up the challenge of this latest multi-talented setter, The Serene Steff.

Evening all!...

Well Alibobs is away this week in Portugal for some rest and relaxation.
When the Double Deckers Quiz was running...we borrowed the bus and went on a trip to Sarumite's...so we thought maybe this week we could have a coach trip to Alibobs place and help ourselves!!
Kay and I have bagsied the back seat!

[evsajo]

I am here but am just cooking some tea, and have to be VERY tidy. Got some sarnies and snack a jacks but where is the bus and who is driving???

[Strix]

I am a little worried about you two ladies sitting together at the back of the bus. I thought the liaisons there were meant to be of a more straight-forward nature.
But, then again, I have heard of these 'ere bendy-buses.
Ooh, watchit 'ere comes the clippie.
Ding-ding
Time for me to 'op off.
